The use of the radial artery for arterial access for left heart catheterization is gaining popularity. We report the first case of traumatic eversion endarterectomy following the removal of the arterial sheath after the cannulation of the radial artery. The patient has no long‐term vascular compromise of the limb and did not require surgical intervention. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2003;58:478–480. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
